Pacific Sunrise

Good Morning. We departed last night on a 1.5 to Yellowfin Tuna trip with Captain Bill Cavanaugh about the Pacific Queen. Normally, we run this trip in Morro Bay but considering that Morro had not seen many fish this year we decided to run the trip from San Diego. Everybody was very excited to fish with Bill and the boys.

Roland wasn't very happy because he caught the JP Dorado and I didn't get a picture before the fish went into the fish hold.
